Black Lantern Corps are composed of re-animated bodies of former heroes, villains and even normal people from all across the DC Universe. They are powered by the corpse of the Anti-Monitor and are led by the Black Hand. They have the power to raise the dead.

"What about Superboy? Who says they have to be "villians" they are just the dead being brought back right?"

yeah, but I'm mentioning guys that have a strong connection to the GL mythos or that are close to the members. Johns didn't just choose the heralds of the sinestro corps because they were powerfull, he chose them because they are connected.

With the possibility of people coming back to life, the potential for psychological warfare is enormous. Imagine Kyle having to deal with all the people who have died around him, or Hal and his dad. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

"Cool. Back n Black. The GL's are blowing up lately. There popularity has to be at an all-time high."

definitely...

with the light war kicking off next year, and the Blackest Night falling in summer 2009... it's going to be an amazing 2 years for Green Lantern... especially with all the plans Johns has for the Arcs he's got going...

"Are the rings only digging up dead GL's? Or anyone from the DCU who's passed away?"

anyone who's dead... literally, the sky with turn black with the bodies of corpses... M"

Here's a theory: I heard through the rumour mill and the fact that one of the dc editors let slip, that it's curtins for bruce wayne come next june! what if in the long run, he's gonna be a part of this blackest night thing?

"I cant see that either, **BUT,** something may happen where we as the reader, and the DCU believe Batman is dead. Then like in a year, something major happens and he returns to save the day. Like he found something out and needed to fake his own death so he may be able to properly prepare or something."
